In the beginning of Let's Encrypt their root certificate ISRG Root X1 was not widely trusted, at least some older and/or mobile platforms were missing that certificate in their root certificate store. At that time Let's Encrypt was using an alternative chain of trust, where a certificate was cross-signed with DST Root CA X3. To make sure a valid chain of trust is available under all circumstances a set of all certificates had to be supplied: both root vertificates ISRG Root X1 & DST Root CA X3, and an intermediate certificate. This was still true after DST Root CA X3 expired, as it could still be used as a root anchor and was shipped by Let's Encrypt when requested. 🤪 This time is finally over, and we have a clean chain for trust ending in ISRG Root X1 (or ISRG Root X2). Well, actually it is the other way round... Let's Encrypt signs with different tantamount intermediate certificates. There is not only E5, but also E6 - and we can not know beforehand which one is used on renew. So let's jetzt drop the intermediate certificates now, and rely on root certificates only. We are perfectly fine with this these days. Follow-up commits will do the same for *all* certificates. The certificate is downloaded with: curl -d '["ISRG Root X2"]' https://mkcert.org/generate/ | grep -v '^$' > certs/ISRG-Root-X2.pem

|
||

|
||
|
||
[RouterOS](https://mikrotik.com/software) is the operating system developed
|
||
by [MikroTik](https://mikrotik.com/aboutus) for networking tasks. This
|
||
repository holds a number of [scripts](https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Scripting)
|
||
to manage RouterOS devices or extend their functionality.
|
||
|
||
*Use at your own risk*, pay attention to
|
||
[license and warranty](#license-and-warranty)!
|
||
|
||
Requirements
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
### Software (RouterOS)
|
||
|
||
Latest version of the scripts require recent RouterOS to function properly.
|
||
Make sure to install latest updates before you begin. If new functionality
|
||
or a breaking change in RouterOS `7.n` is used in my scripts I push my
|
||
change some time after `7.(n+1)` was released. At any time you should have
|
||
at least two minor and their bugfix releases to choose from.
|
||
|
||
Specific scripts may require even newer RouterOS version.
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ **Info**: The `main` branch is now RouterOS v7 only. If you are still
|
||
> running RouterOS v6 switch to `routeros-v6` branch!
|
||
|
||
### Hardware
|
||
|
||
RouterOS packages increase in size with each release. This becomes a
|
||
problem for devices with 16MB storage and below, those with an ARM CPU
|
||
are specifically affected.
|
||
|
||
Huge configuration and lots of scripts give an extra risk. **Take care!**
|
||
|
||
Initial setup
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
### Get me ready!
|
||
|
||
If you know how things work just copy and paste the
|
||
[initial commands](INITIAL-COMMANDS.md). Remember to edit and rerun
|
||
`global-config-overlay`!
|
||
First time users should take the long way below.
|
||
|
||
### Live presentation
|
||
|
||
Want to see it in action? I've had a presentation [Repository based
|
||
RouterOS script distribution](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9neG3oAhcY)
|
||
including demonstation recorded live at [MUM Europe
|
||
2019](https://mum.mikrotik.com/2019/EU/) in Vienna.
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ **Warning**: Some details changed. So see the presentation, then follow
|
||
> the steps below for up-to-date commands.
|
||
|
||
### The long way in detail
|
||
|
||
The update script does server certificate verification, so first step is to
|
||
download the certificates. If you intend to download the scripts from a
|
||
different location (for example from github.com) install the corresponding
|
||
certificate chain.
|
||
|
||
/tool/fetch "https://git.eworm.de/cgit/routeros-scripts/plain/certs/ISRG-Root-X2.pem" dst-path="ISRG-Root-X2.pem";
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Note that the commands above do *not* verify server certificate, so if you
|
||
want to be safe download with your workstations's browser and transfer the
|
||
file to your MikroTik device.
|
||
|
||
* [ISRG Root X2](https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrg-root-x2.pem)
|
||
|
||
Then we import the certificate.
|
||
|
||
/certificate/import file-name=ISRG-Root-X2.pem passphrase="";
|
||
|
||
Do not worry that the command is not shown - that happens because it contains
|
||
a sensitive property, the passphrase.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
For basic verification we rename the certificate and print it by
|
||
fingerprint. Make sure exactly this one certificate ("*ISRG-Root-X2*")
|
||
is shown. Also remove the left over file.
|
||
|
||
/certificate/set name="ISRG-Root-X2" [ find where common-name="ISRG Root X2" ];
|
||
/certificate/print proplist=name,fingerprint where fingerprint="69729b8e15a86efc177a57afb7171dfc64add28c2fca8cf1507e34453ccb1470";
|
||
/file/remove [ find where name="ISRG-Root-X2.pem" ];
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Always make sure there are no certificates installed you do not know or want!
|
||
|
||
All following commands will verify the server certificate. For validity the
|
||
certificate's lifetime is checked with local time, so make sure the device's
|
||
date and time is set correctly!
|
||
|
||
Now let's download the main scripts and add them in configuration on the fly.
|
||
|
||
:foreach Script in={ "global-config"; "global-config-overlay"; "global-functions" } do={ /system/script/add name=$Script owner=$Script source=([ /tool/fetch check-certificate=yes-without-crl ("https://git.eworm.de/cgit/routeros-scripts/plain/" . $Script . ".rsc") output=user as-value]->"data"); };
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
And finally load configuration and functions and add the scheduler.
|
||
|
||
/system/script { run global-config; run global-functions; };
|
||
/system/scheduler/add name="global-scripts" start-time=startup on-event="/system/script { run global-config; run global-functions; }";
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Scheduled automatic updates
|
||
|
||
The last step is optional: Add this scheduler **only** if you want the
|
||
scripts to be updated automatically!
|
||
|
||
/system/scheduler/add name="ScriptInstallUpdate" start-time=startup interval=1d on-event=":global ScriptInstallUpdate; \$ScriptInstallUpdate;";
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Editing configuration
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
The configuration needs to be tweaked for your needs. Edit
|
||
`global-config-overlay`, copy relevant configuration from
|
||
[`global-config`](global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`).
|
||
Save changes and exit with `Ctrl-o`.
|
||
|
||
/system/script/edit global-config-overlay source;
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Additionally creating configuration snippets is supported. The script name
|
||
of these snippets has to start with `global-config-overlay.d/` to make them
|
||
being loaded automatically. This allows to split off parts of the
|
||
configuration.
|
||
|
||
To apply your changes run `global-config`, which will automatically load
|
||
the overlay as well:
|
||
|
||
/system/script/run global-config;
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
This last step is required when ever you make changes to your configuration.
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ **Info**: It is recommended to edit the configuration using the command
|
||
> line interface. If using Winbox on Windows OS, the line endings may be
|
||
> missing. To fix this run:
|
||
> `/system/script/set source=[ $Unix2Dos [ get global-config-overlay source ] ] global-config-overlay;`
|
||
|
||
Updating scripts
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
To update existing scripts just run function `$ScriptInstallUpdate`. If
|
||
everything is up-to-date it will not produce any output.
|
||
|
||
$ScriptInstallUpdate;
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
If the update includes news or requires configuration changes a notification
|
||
is sent - in addition to terminal output and log messages.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Adding a script
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
To add a script from the repository run function `$ScriptInstallUpdate` with
|
||
a comma separated list of script names.
|
||
|
||
$ScriptInstallUpdate check-certificates,check-routeros-update;
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Scheduler and events
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
Most scripts are designed to run regularly from
|
||
[scheduler](https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Scheduler). We just
|
||
added `check-routeros-update`, so let's run it daily to make sure not to
|
||
miss an update.
|
||
|
||
/system/scheduler/add name="check-routeros-update" interval=1d start-time=startup on-event="/system/script/run check-routeros-update;";
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Some events can run a script. If you want your DHCP hostnames to be available
|
||
in DNS use `dhcp-to-dns` with the events from dhcp server. For a regular
|
||
cleanup add a scheduler entry.
|
||
|
||
$ScriptInstallUpdate dhcp-to-dns,lease-script;
|
||
/ip/dhcp-server/set lease-script=lease-script [ find ];
|
||
/system/scheduler/add name="dhcp-to-dns" interval=5m on-event="/system/script/run dhcp-to-dns;";
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
There's much more to explore... Have fun!

||
Installing custom scripts & modules
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
My scripts cover a lot of use cases, but you may have your own ones. You can
|
||
still use my scripts to manage and deploy yours, by specifying `base-url`
|
||
(and `url-suffix`) for each script.
|
||
|
||
This will fetch and install a script `hello-world.rsc` from the given url:
|
||
|
||
$ScriptInstallUpdate hello-world "base-url=https://git.eworm.de/cgit/routeros-scripts-custom/plain/";
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
For a script to be considered valid it has to begin with a *magic token*.
|
||
Have a look at [any script](README.d/hello-world.rsc) and copy the first line
|
||
without modification.
|
||
|
||
Starting a script's name with `mod/` makes it a module and it is run
|
||
automatically by `global-functions`.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Removing a script
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
There is no specific function for script removal. Just remove it from
|
||
configuration...
|
||
|
||
/system/script/remove to-be-removed;
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Possibly a scheduler and other configuration has to be removed as well.
